I am a wife, aunt, grandmother to 2 boys, and mother to 3 dogs and 3 cats. I have been a nurse for over 30 years, and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for 4 years. I received my bachelor's in nursing from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1994, my master's in nursing education from the University of Mississippi in 2014, and my post-master's certificate in psychiatric mental health from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2020.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I will review questionnaires, and obtain a thorough physical, social, and psychological history. I will order appropriate lab studies, and propose a treatment plan, which will be altered as necessary based on responses and lab values.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am currently enrolled in an integrative psychiatry certificate program in which I am learning how to incorporate holistic modalities into conventional medical treatments for common mental health diagnoses. I hope to use what I learn to help people acheive total health. I am an empathic listener, and I believe clients must be in control of their treatment plan. I am here to guide, educate, and prescribe, not dictate.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I want to serve those who recognize the complexity of mental health, those who understand that disruptions in wellbeing are likely due to a combination of lifestyle, spiritual, and biopsychosocial factors. My dream client would be open to conventional medical treatments as well as alternative modalities such as diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes.
